Starting in Motorsport

What is Motor Sport?

Motor Sport is one of the most successful and
popular sports in Britain. There are around 750
registered motor clubs which organise over 4,300
events a year in 22 different disciplines. There
are at least 100,000 competitors, of which some
30,000 individuals hold MSA Competition licences.
A1though it is often perceived as a male dominated
sport, there are many more successful female
participants than you might Imagine.

Who can compete?

Anyone over the age of 8, male or female, can
drive competitively. As for cars, many forms of
Motor Sport can be tackled with completely standard
road cars, while others permit only very limited
modifications. Some types of Motor Sport require
each car to carry a passenger, often as an active
participant , so you don't necessarily even need a
car to be a competitor.

What if I don't want to compete?

You don't have to be a competitor to become
actively involved. A great many rewarding and
enjoyable opportunities exist in all areas of the
sport, from the organization of events to
marshalling. You can even seek permanent
employment. Great Britain is the centre of Motor
Sport, with over 50,000 men and women employed as
truck drivers, secretaries, mechanics or
salespeople, and in PR, administration and
planning.
